Order of the Red Cross Shirt
We all have our Commandery uniforms showing our love for the Order of the Temple, and the Maltese Cross an integral part of our uniform shows our pride in the Order of Malta but what of the Illustrious Order of the Red Cross, what of the glory and power of truth?
Show your pride in the Order of the Red cross with a Red Cross shirt or hoodie inscribed with our motto, “Magna est Veritas, et prævalebit” which means “Great is Truth, and it will prevail.”

Congratulations go out to our two newest Mark Master Masons, Chuck Nagy, and Albert DeFluri, and a special thanks to Sunlight Chapter 189 Royal Arch Masons, for the fantastic ritual work they did, and allowing us the opportunity to confer a degree in the daylight hours.
Happy New Year to all as we enter the 150th year of Ann Arbor Commandery No. 13, Knights Templar.
Merry Christmas from the Grand Commander
Sir Knights and families the Christmas season is but a few short days away. In the birth of Jesus it was the beginning and fulfillment of prophecy. The gifts for baby Jesus are symbols to us that giving of what is pleasant and respectful are to be imitated. Let us therefore use this season to rededicate our purposes and practice giving gifts of charity and of kindness to those who are needful. To the receiver of gifts they bring feelings of joy and thoughtfulness. To the giver that we care and appreciate you whether you are family, friend or complete strangers. Lady Jean and I wish to each of you the
many blessings and joys of this season and through the year.
Sincerely,
Paul W. Roggow, REGC

An eventful inspection for Ann Arbor Commandery No. 13, KT. We celebrated Sir Knight Tom Jameson’s 45 years serving Ann Arbor Commandery, presented our Eminent Grand Generalissimo, Donald Trumbull with an honorary membership, and lady Merry Jo with a donation to the Knights Templar Holy Land Pilgrimage. Great Job Sir Knights!
The Sir Knights of Ann Arbor Commandery No. 13 were proud to assist in Ypsilanti Commandery No. 54’s annual inspection!
Seems a Sir Knight was among the fallen in The Walking Dead premiere.
Ann Arbor Commandery No. 13 History 1965-1990
For some time we’ve had an in-depth history of the first hundred years of Ann Arbor Commandery, compiled by the late Sir Knight Harrison Caswell, PC posted on the website, but today we’re adding a latter compilation which picks up where SK, Caswell left off covering the years of 1965-1990. While admittedly a less detailed account, it none the less includes important historical gems from our proud organization.
Congratulations to Brandon Mullins, PC for being installed as Southeastern Michigan Battalion Commander after his election to the prestigious post earlier this year. Thanks for your dedicated service to Templary. Companion Brandon, Ann Arbor Council’s Thrice Illustrious Master was also honored with the Grand Master’s Service Award and Grand Master’s Meritorious award at the Grand Council session, which due to circumstances he was unable to control with his babysitter he was sadly not in attendance to receive these special honors. Thanks for your great efforts in York Rite Masonry Brandon!
Ann Arbor Commandery No. 13, Knights Templar is proud to have received the Certificate of Merit from the Grand Commandery at this year’s Grand Conclave

I had the pleasure of representing Ann Arbor Commandery #13 and Southeastern Michigan Battalion in the Most Worshipful Grand Master Bill LeVeque’s Honour Guard provided by the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar. It was quite an impressive arch of steel!
